According to the film's synopsis, the story centers around Cameron Post (Chloë), who is "sent to a gay conversion therapy center after getting caught with another girl on prom night."

The synopsis continues: "Run by the strict and severe Dr. Lydia Marsh (Jennifer Ehle) and her brother, Reverend Rick (John Gallagher Jr.) ... In the face of intolerance and denial, Cameron meets a group of fellow sinners including Jane (Sasha), and her friend, Adam (Forrest). Together, this group of teenagers form an unlikely family as they fight to survive."

In the trailer, viewers are introduced to the therapy camp, called "God's Promise," and watch as Cameron begins to brainstorm a plan of escape with Jane and Adam. In the final moments of the preview, Cameron announces to her friends that she's "tired of feeling disgusted with myself," and viewers see as she struggles to not let the terrible practices of the therapy wear her down.

In a previous interview with Teen Vogue, Sasha, who came out as bisexual in 2015, explained the importance of the film, saying, “The story meant a lot to me. To get really good feedback from it was nice because you want to do a story like that justice.”

Chloë had also previously revealed what preparations went into the film during a previous interview with Vulture, saying the cast and crew had "really found it important to try and get as much information as we could, so that the group therapy scenes and the dialogue we were using would be as realistic as possible. So we sat and talked to three or four different people who had survived conversion-therapy camps. And it was interesting, because there were a lot of people from completely different backgrounds ... I think without those conversations we wouldn’t have the project that we have now."
